Two young men playing with a gun — one is now dead and the other is in jail

Two young men treated a loaded gun like a toy Wednesday afternoon in a North Miami Dade bedroom. The 19-year-old wound up in jail after the 20-year-old died from a bullet that went through his face and out the back of his skull, police said.

Bobby Duverny of North Miami-Dade was killed around 5:20 p.m. Miami-Dade police took Brandon Velez, another North Miami-Dade resident, into custody Thursday morning on a charge of manslaughter with a deadly weapon.

Velez is in Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, a place he knows from previous arrests. Last year, he got probation after a conviction for car burglary and grand theft.

On Wednesday afternoon, The two were in the bedroom of a third person’s house at 14910 NW Ninth Ct. when, according to the arrest affidavit, they began “playing with a loaded firearm in a negligent manner by pointing it at each other and mishandling the firearm.”
